Greening for Gains: an Experience of Off-Season Vegetable Farming in Flood-Prone-Riverbeds in the Eastern Terai of Nepal / N. Khanal ; D.P. Pandey ; Gupta, K.P.
Title : Greening for Gains: an Experience of Off-Season Vegetable Farming in Flood-Prone-Riverbeds in the Eastern Terai of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: N. Khanal, Author ; D.P. Pandey, Author ; Gupta, K.P., Author Pagination: 267-274 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: adaptive trials, blocks, comparative advantage, cucurbitaceous, profitability Abstract: Numerous rivers in the terai of Nepal flood vast area of lands every year. Between the periods
of two successive flooding seasons, the riverbeds mostly remain nude or sparsely covered
with uneconomical grasses. In the effort of providing the poor and landless people with some
agriculture-based livelihood options. FORWARD started some participatory adaptive trials
and demonstrations on various cucurbitaceous vegetables on the riverbeds in Morang district
since 2000 and gradually built on appropriate technological package over years. Now the
package of practices has been thoroughly standardized and promoted in several blocks
through group approach in Morang and Banke districts. Economic analysis has shown that
growing cucurbitaceous vegetables on the riverbeds with the standard package of practices is
highly remunerative. The profitability is attributed to the lower intensity of crop pests and
diseases and to the early season productiou of crops that fetch higher price. This paper
highlights the technical procedures, management strategies and comparative advafltages of
the vegetable famJing on the riverbeds.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=510 Greening for Gains: an Experience of Off-Season Vegetable Farming in Flood-Prone-Riverbeds in the Eastern Terai of Nepal [printed text] / N.

Title : Maize in transition from food to feed Crop: Policy implications and sustainability issues Material Type: printed text Authors: Paudyal, K.P., Author ; Osti, N.P., Author Pagination: 492-501 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Comparative advantage, feed, maize, poultry, protection coefficients Abstract: Traditionally maize is grown for food in Nepal. However, its importance as a feed crop is growing very fast especially in accessible areas. A recent estimate shows that a total of 151,000 tons of maize is used to prepare compounded poultry feed in the country each year to feed almost 9 million commercial poultry birds. Another 154,000 tons of maize is used annually as feed for other animals including cattle, fish, pigs and backyard poultry birds………………
